Task Force Aurora

The prospect of downloadable content for Mass Effect 3 is a curious one. How do you add-on narrative to a game that’s essential finished? A few months back, I asked lead writer Mac Walters about room for another Shepard story and he essentially said that there won’t be anymore but he did leave open a crack. He said there was “potential elsewhere in the universe.”

And it seems that “potential” is called Leviathan. It’s the title of the upcoming Mass Effect 3 DLC coming this summer on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Set before the finale on Earth, the game works off a Legend Save that the game makes before you finish it, said Nick Clifford, BioWare assistant product manager. For those going through the game, it’ll be part of the experience.
